Lake Mary Pedestrian Bridge

In a previous post, I put up pictures of the Lake Mary Farmers Market. To follow up on that post, I am going to talk about the bridge that was built crossing Lake Mary Blvd in front of City Hall where the Farmers Market was held.



Not long ago, two pedestrian bridges were built crossing over Lake Mary Blvd. The bridges took an insanely long time to build. I believe they were scheduled to be open for the start of the 2006 school year. Over a year later, they were finally finished for the 2007 school year. One bridge is located at Rinehart Road and the other is at Country Club Road crossing Lake Mary Blvd between City Hall and Lake Mary Elementary. Once the bridges were finally finished, I was actually surprised how ugly they were. Seminole County has built some nice looking pedestrian bridges for their trails, but these two aren't very ascetically pleasing in my opinion. Compare these bridges to the suspension bridge crossing I-4 and you'll see what I mean. Ugly or not, I walked across the bridge in front of City Hall for the first time last Saturday. Here are the pictures I took...

Lake Mary Farmers Market

This past Saturday I went to the Lake Mary Farmers Market. The farmers market is in Downtown Lake Mary in front of City Hall. I was actually surprised by the amount of vendors at the event, especially since it has been a weekly thing for a few months now. It seems like when neighboring cities attempt farmers markets, they all seem to fail miserably after not long at all.

All I am going to say is good luck Lake Mary. It was a nice event with some decent vendors, and I hope it continues...
